This is on my property, feeders at 40 and 100 yards. Daylight view and after dark thermal view...
I don't hunt here often because I am off taking care of hogs on other people's properties...

Well, my usual spot was made inaccessible by a huge fallen tree, due to the ice storm we got on Thursday. Went to a spot I haven't been to in 20 years. Saw a lot of tracks and a nice scrape without even trying. Optimistic about it if my usual can't be cleared.

Those Illinois bucks are nice and big. He'll make two of our bucks. Congrats.

This spot by the Gasconade River yielded my second deer of the season, a button buck, this afternoon. I thought it was a doe, but, there you go! I’m taking table trophies this year.

Here's the promised rifle zone pix. First one's looking off my buddies deck in the Bristol Hills, / Finger Lakes area. They just had 20" of snow the other day. My blind's about 120 yds. down on the left out of view, ( That's an archery buck target standing in the field). Second one's the blind itself and the third is looking out one of the windows. Didn't get anything yesterday or this morning .... Passed up a fawn yesterday which I think was a button buck but I'm gonna make an appointment to see him next November. My buddy dropped a nice doe just before dark less than 200 yds. away and said I could have half the meat if I gutted it for him, ( his freezer is still crowded) so I gutted it in the dark in a foot and a half of snow while him & his brother held the lights. So even if I didn't get one I've got some venison coming and it was a neat experience and a good, memorable time. Next up this coming week will be the ladder stand in a shotgun zone and I hope to have pix taken from up there and hopefully pix of a large trophy buck also. Maybe something like that monster taken by Armored Farmer........... ( I can dream; can't I ?), ( grin).

Shotgun zone..... A few miles south of the Lake Ontario shore where the recent snow storm only dumped a few inches. It's next to an old, rotted, wooden stand that's now useless. Got a few trail cam pix in that area, but almost all at night. The deer in that area are notoriously nocturnal and I've got the pictures to prove it. But; there is a very few of a decent buck in broad daylight so later this week perhaps we could meet up.
You can see the fat old doe, drt, on the edge of the cedar wetlands.... 303 Brit w/handloaded 150 gr Interlock. Hitting a different stand tomorrow.

Duster 340;.... Now THAT'S a beautiful view from your stand... Congratulations. That .303 looks to be a #4 Lee-Enfield (?).

From my box blind down the fence to my feeder and beyond. The feeder is 50 yards.

This guy is no monster, but he has been well fed. The little tuft of hair at the base of his neck is the entry wound....no exit wound.
Before the shot...:
This was my view immediately after the shot:
He fell in his tracks with no suffering from a spine/heart shot:

Sitting in mine as I type. A friend lets me hunt on her property, mostly dense woods. 100 yards would be a very long shot. I took a very nice buck from here, so I’m holding out hope for another. Or at least something for the freezer.

I just want to start this by saying that it amuses me that you have snapchat. It made me chuckle to see that.
Secondly, I have to know exactly how you shot this deer at the base of the neck as well as the heart without him being directly below you or laying on his side. Just trying to figure out that angle lol

View from my blind on the Mississippi and my little red puppy inches away from a duck I shot. It dove just before he could catch it and got under the ice. Maybe it’ll float out but I doubt it

Lol. I have a teenage son so we all snapchat.
The buck was at 20yds and closing.....on course to walk under my stand. He had his head down picking his way through some standing water. My stand is on a slough.

Hunting an intersection of a logging road this morning. Almost a square mile of cut over in front and pines behind. The duck hunters were busy early!
